A sales manager for an advertising agency believes there is a relationship between the number of contacts that a salespersonmakes and the amount of sales dollars earned. A regression analysis shows the following results.Coefficients Standard Errort-Statp-valueIntercept-12.2016.560-1.8600.100Number of contacts2.1950.17612.5050.000What is the decision regarding the hypothesis that the slope is different from zero? Assume the level of significance is 0.05. Multiple ChoiceReject the alternative hypothesis. We conclude that the slope is equal to zero.Fail to reject the alternative hypothesis. We conclude the slope is not equal to zero.Reject the null hypothesis. We conclude that the slope is not equal to zero.Fail to reject the null hypothesis. We conclude the slope is equal to zero.

We have given that the regression analysis table that shown the relationship between the number of…

For the following exercises, consider this scenario: The profit of a company decreased steadily overa ten-year spam.The following ordered pairs shows dollars and the number of units sold in hundreds and the profit in thousands ofover the ten-year span, (number of units sold, profit) for specific recorded years: (46,600),(48,550),(50,505),(52,540),(54,495). Use linear regression to determine a function Pwhere the profit in thousands of dollars depends onthe number of units sold in hundreds.
